Nice to see Ole Miss put a whoopin' on Kiffin and LSU.

Couldn’t happen to a worse person 🤣

Chambliss is so much better than any of the ‘27 QB prospects I’ve seen. I just don’t get how anyone could take Dante Moore over him.

Won’t he be 26 or close to it before he starts an NFL game. Assuming he’s a week 1 starter?

For Douglas the Blog was all about competition rather than collaboration.

In those early days the Blog had lots of lurkers/observers who were like sponges … soaking in the information. I was never a lurker (it’s not my MO) but the amount of knowledge I acquired/absorbed from our fellow Blog posters is incalculable.

I lurked for a while before I posted regularly. I think I joined the old boards in late 2007. Started posting in here on the run up to the 2008 NFCCG.

Something is seriously wrong with me.

Instead of watching college football, I’m more interested in a 10 year old episode of Iron Chef. Gawd, I love the cooking channel. 🐖🦬💕

I love Michael Simon. Fantastic chef.

You’ve had different names here but were always frank with what you do and did. My heartiest thanks for your service.

he turned 24 in August so take that as you will, but yeah, he will be older - also he's only 6 foot and 205 pounds.

The ol ferris handle. I learned quite a lot over the years! The lead up to me doing the regional combine I will never forget too.

Funny to see the civil war talk again, because it always made my head spin given my profession and just how much of a different beast things were back then.

They sent Pete to a nothing place. He was a fighter and not a strategist and did nothing without a strong leader or an enemy in his front. Jeffrey Wert has a fine book about him. There was great hostility to Pete

after the war because of his post-war duties but it was part of the Lost Cause movement that so corrupted history and looks to be being redeveloped with new clothes.

He seemed to have strained relationships during the war. With Hill following the 7 days which almost resulted in a duel and did necessitate Little Powell’s transfer to the Valley and apparently he wanted to court martial McLaws after Knoxville. Some of confederate generals excelled as division commanders, but seem lacking when elevated to corps. I tend to think Longstreet was best as a corps commander with Lee managing the personalities.

25 isn’t too bad. Especially with Bo nix becoming a household name. Nix spent 18 years in college I think right?

This popped up in my memories today from a few years ago…that catwalk was absolutely terrible come October on trying to run a game 🤣. Low key the reason I set my retirement for October that year…so I didn’t have to run the show for another football season.

You have to be the only blogger to participate in the combine, regional other.

I don't see them taking another tight end after burning one early this past draft...

Good point.

Thank you. I always wondered.

So it was a blog + discussion and now it's just an ongoing general discussion.

There was a thread in WU once called TCB (The Corner Bar). Someone earlier described this topic like going to a bar to chat and anything can come up. Something like that would make more sense ha ha.

Every corner bar needs one...

If you are looking for something that's in depth enough that even you might learn a thing or two, I'd suggest you check out 'jeffrey the librarian' on Youtube. He goes into extreme detail and minute by minute details. Pretty fascinating stuff.

I dont agree.

Next year Goedert likely gone leaves them with Stowers (disappointment), and... ???????

There is definitely a big need.

Wow. Stowers is a disappointment... after one game? . Seems a premature declaration.

Even if Stowers improves, I see him as a complimentary TE2. We need a quality Y type that brings a skillset to run and pass.

0 games. He didnt play last week. Because they created a phantom injury for him, because he is not preforming like a 2nd round pick should- which is an understatement for a guy who they deemed actually undeserving to see the field yet.

Yes. Disappointment.

Its not a premature declaration. That sounds too final. Its a current observation, which leaves room for improvement.

Ha, I’m happy to think I know something- sounds like I’d tune into this show to shatter that delusion.

Man I just saw an Abercrombie and Fitch ad with Drake Maye, Justin Jefferson and Jaxson Dart all posing like chodes in F boy clothes and hooooo boy do I hate I hate those 3 teams more now.

I didn’t know Abercrombie was still a thing. Guess I know where I’m headed tomorrow!

Do you think we can get a cover here - I mean TEN is just not very good. Cam Ward isn’t going to scramble around and keep them in this game.
